The Scout's Battle

The black-shield infantrymen who had been lying in ambush nearby also raised their weapons and ran behind the big tree, forming a solid line.

Meanwhile, the more agile Magic-Equipped Archer took the opportunity to draw their bows fully and aim at the distant enemy.

Swoosh~~

Magic arrows rained down from the sky, first striking the fleeing Bearman.

The Bearman, who were being protected by soldiers, were immediately dumbfounded.

As countless arrows rained down, many of the Bearman children screamed and cried.

One by one, giant war trees emerged from the jungle, suddenly waving their thick branches and beginning to sweep away everything in their path.

Its enormous body rampaged through the Bearman. Even the strongest and most robust individuals were no match for this ancient behemoth, and were sent flying as if they were made of tofu.

In just one minute, the outermost large group of Bearman had been crushed by the Treant.

Under the cover of countless arrows, the Bearman fell like wheat being harvested.

Those who were lucky enough to survive the Treant' charge looked back and found that a solid formation of 500 Black Shield Heavy Infantry and 1,000 Skeleton was already blocking their way.

"Fire attack! Use fire attack!"

The Bearman chieftain roared at the top of his lungs, and some of the Bearman began to light torches.

Lan Xinyu reacted quickly as well. Upon seeing this, she immediately ordered the Magic-Equipped Archer beside her to focus their attacks on those carrying torches. At the same time, a group of Skeleton behind them grabbed buckets of water and rushed forward, ready to extinguish the fire as soon as the Treant struck.

"Roar--"

At that moment, a loud roar resounded through the sky, and Amia transformed into a 10-meter-long Black Dragon, flapping her wings and swooping down from the sky.

With a single breath, apocalyptic flames swept across a long line of Bearman, instantly burying many warriors in the inferno.

The appearance of the dragon undoubtedly plunged the entire Bearman race into immense panic.

Furthermore, the Treant also displayed devastating strength, and in an instant, the entire Bearman army was thrown into complete chaos.

Many soldiers were too busy taking care of themselves to help the fleeing civilians.

For a moment, the scene of the battle resembled the end of the world.

At this moment, the Treant chieftain, who was slaughtering enemies all the way, stopped and looked up at the Black Dragon flying overhead.

That terrifying pressure made it tremble from the bottom of its heart.

"Dragon?"

In fact, before the battle, he never expected that Ye Qian would be able to pull out such a secret weapon.

You must know, this is a dragon.

Such a being is above all else; He actually took action himself and participated in the siege against the Bearman.

As Treant, it simply couldn't understand why this had happened.

The pressure of the subsequent battles was still immense. Ultimately, the size of the troops Ye Qian sent out was still insufficient. Fortunately, ranged units took on most of the output tasks, and with the rampage of more than 20 Treant, the battle ended in the annihilation of the Bearman.

Looking at the devastated battlefield, Ye Qian suddenly felt a pang of emotion.

"Won't what I'm doing wipe out the entire Bearman race?"

She couldn't help but wonder if this was the only thing of this species.

"Don't worry, the Bearman have several tribes. The one we defeated this time was just the one that threatened us." The Treant chieftain walked over and stopped five or six meters away from Ye Qian. "Human, I never expected that you would receive the support of the great dragon."

"That dragon belongs to my side." Ye Qian originally wanted to say that the dragon was her daughter, but she was afraid that the other side wouldn't believe her, so she changed her story.

"I deeply admire you for having the support of the proud dragon race. In fact, I originally thought that dragons could no longer exist in this era, but I never expected to see them with my own eyes." The Treant bowed deeply to Ye Qian and said, "If you need any help in the future, we Treant will definitely lend a hand."

"Then thank you in advance." Ye Qian didn't refuse, because she really intended to have the Treant help her side in the future.

These 20 or so big trees are truly legendary species. They killed so many Bearman in this battle, rampaging through the enemy as if they were strolling in their own home. They were practically invincible. In the end, only a few trees were slightly injured, and none of them died. How could Ye Qian not be envious?

"Let's clean up the battlefield and collect all the Bearman's corpses."

Ye Qian instructed the Skeleton and the remaining soldiers to prepare to clean up.

The battle had resulted in significant losses for her, but seeing the many items that had exploded on the ground, as well as the large amount of bear meat that looked to be of extremely high quality, she felt that she had definitely made a considerable profit.

While scavenging the Bearman, they unexpectedly found human currency worth over 1,000 silver coins. Although it wasn't much, it was still a pleasant surprise.

As night fell, a large amount of flesh and blood was gathered together. Ye Qian bid farewell to the Treant and returned to her homeland with the spoils of war.

She Purification a large number of corpses overnight and had the soldiers try to roast dozens of kilograms of meat.

After adding spices and tasting it myself, I found that the flavor surpassed all the meat I had ever eaten before.

"I never expected bear meat to taste so good."

Based on this calculation, a higher unit price could be set.

She didn't think too much about it and started putting the products on the shelves in batches.

The price is 1.5 times that of normal meat.

Sure enough... you get what you pay for. Some players who tried buying it were very satisfied with the meat and immediately added a lot more to their carts.

The sales were particularly good, probably because it was the first day that the new meat was available.

At 30 Copper Coin per kilogram, the average bear could yield up to 80 kilograms of meat.

In the end, each person could earn 24 silver coins.

The number of Bearman carcasses recovered from the scene was as high as 18,212.

After removing the meat from the older Bearman, which is of lower quality and only fetches 20 Copper Coin, the final price is 400,000 silver coins.

Of course... this will definitely be a very long process.

But it's true that sales were exceptionally good on the first day. I don't know if it's because I listed too many items, but the system helped expand the market by opening it up to the entire player base.

In other words, this wave is not like the past, which only targets a few sellers, so they earned an exaggerated 15,000 silver coins on the first day.

Such a rapid sales pace made Ye Qian wonder if she might one day saturate the market.

In the chat area.

[Fafu: Over 1.4 million jin of flesh? Holy crap, what's going on with this guy, Jia Xiao Qian? Did he wipe out an entire Bearman tribe?]

[Monster: How strong is the Bearman? Has anyone seen him?]

[Dogs Should Eat Dog Meat: Comparison is the thief of joy. Anyway, all I know is that this Xiao Qian is a super young and beautiful girl. I saw her mentioned in the chat last time, and a bunch of people were calling her "wife."]

[Da da da da: Yes, yes, Xiao Qian is super pretty, wearing white stockings and a skirt, so amazing, it's a pity she's never shown her face.]

[Peak Master: I wish I could meet her in person someday.]

Seeing these players talking about her, Ye Qian seemed much calmer this time.

Having developed to this point, it's only natural that we've become powerful.

With so many Bearman being put on the market this time, she was a little worried about their shelf life. Fortunately, the system explained that the meat hanging in the trading area was in a state of no longer spoiling and could basically remain fresh.

Anyway, everyone worked together all night to remove unwanted internal organs, Purification the meat for Ye Qian, and then cut and sold it.

Some of the stronger Bearman were transformed into Skeleton Soldier to make up for the losses of the thousands of the Skeleton Legion in this battle.

"Why does it feel like next time we come back, we can just launch an attack on human territory?"

Ye Qian looked at the speed at which this wave of money was making money and felt that it was only a matter of time before they could build an army of tens of thousands.

"Let's not get too excited yet. Let's just proceed step by step. Not all forces in this world have armies below level 20. If our own strength can't reach LV20 or above, we'll face a lot of trouble in the future," Chen Ning said, expressing his concern.

"Don't worry, you'll break through sooner or later," Ye Qian comforted her with a smile.

She got promoted, and these guys don't even know it yet.

If all else fails, we can try to collect some ritual items for the two of them.

However, one thing is certain: as their strength grows, the secrets of the player system will inevitably be exposed sooner or later. Ye Qian has already begun to consider secretly forming a legion and finding a way to free them from the Player System's constraints, sending them to another world to be completely under her command.

However, she didn't quite understand how to do it. Obviously, she couldn't try it rashly no matter what, since no one knew what was behind it. If she were discovered and unable to resist, Ye Qian would be in real trouble.

All she can do now is take it slow, proceed step by step, and keep her system separate from the player's system.

Just like the previous battle between the Dusk members and the players, the system was completely unaware of the problem and simply regarded Dusk as the enemy.

"There's only one day left. After my stay is up, I can finally leave for a bit."

Ye Qian yawned. She knew she could come back anytime, but how should she put it... after staying for so long, she still wanted to go back to her own home for a while.

"It feels like a dream to have developed to this point." Lan Xinyu sat quietly to the side this time, showing a rare moment of emotion that a normal person should have.

Ye Qian raised her little foot towards her. "Want to lick it, you pervert?"

Lan Xinyu: "..."

Seeing her expression that seemed to say, "What do you take me for?", Ye Qian chuckled and said, "You must be thinking about it, right? Don't I know you well enough?"

"Speaking of which, we should improve our quality of life in this world. Tomorrow I'll urge Chen Ning to finish building the Majestic Town Center as soon as possible. I heard there's a bathhouse inside, so we can take a bath then." Lan Xinyu said, looking Ye Qian up and down. Suddenly, as if to prove her innocence, she said seriously, "Don't think nonsense. I have no intention of making a move on you."

"Why did you have to emphasize this again?" Ye Qian's lips twitched.

I hadn't thought that much about it before, but now I'm actually a little scared.

This day has passed peacefully, and everyone has basically finished their tasks.

Overall, the territory is developing quite well now. Although the war with the Bearman has resulted in the loss of many troops, with enough money, it is only a matter of time before the troops are replenished.

Considering the possibility of crossing the river for combat in the future, and that the lake there is connected to a network of waterways, and even the sea in the distance, Ye Qian specifically searched in the mall and purchased the blueprints for the highest-grade ships.

[Blueprint: Medium-sized Magic Multimasted Warship (Green)]

[Materials required: 800 Timber, 100 iron]

[Cost: 20 Silver Coins]

[Description: A medium-sized magic sailing ship, 40 meters in length, capable of carrying a large number of cannons. Speed: 30 knots.]

Although it's a sailboat, the vessel is primarily powered by magic, and its speed of 30 knots is equivalent to 55 kilometers per hour—a truly remarkable speed for a ship. Otherwise, achieving such a speed would be incredibly difficult given the technology of this era.

The cost of this blueprint wasn't too high, 40 silver coins.

The cost of a single ship is mostly spent on wood and iron, making it a warship that is constructed from wood and iron sheets and has a certain degree of protection.

With ships available, cannons were naturally needed as well.

The blueprints for artillery are quite expensive, probably because they can be used in land warfare. Many players don't want to give them to others to increase their strength, but they also want to make money, so they set a high price for them.

[Blueprint: 100mm Magic Crystal Cannon (Green)]

[Materials required: 40 iron, 30 copper, 2 wood blocks]

[Cost: 30 Silver Coins]

[Note: This is a 100mm long-range artillery piece with a maximum rate of fire of 6 rounds per minute, a range of 8 kilometers, using armor-piercing shells, and weighing 1.2 tons. The blueprint includes instructions for shell manufacturing.]

The Magic Crystal cannon is mainly activated using magic crystals, but the projectiles it uses are still made of metal, and its appearance is very similar to modern artillery.

Including reloading, a rate of fire of one round every 10 seconds is quite good. In this day and age, installing more of these cannons would be sufficient for both siege warfare and naval battles.

Ye Qian spent 900 silver coins to order the farmers to build 30 cannons at the same time.

Unlike buildings, this kind of thing takes much longer to build, and the number of farmers who can participate in the work is limited. Therefore, at the current rate, about 5 can be produced per day.

This speed is certainly sufficient.

Seeing that the option to return to reality was lit up on the Player System, Ye Qian still planned to stay for a full day before being forcibly deported.

Chapter 121 The Scouts' Battle

On this final day, as the entire territory was completing its work in an orderly manner, a squad of 10 elite soldiers sent to scout in the forest suddenly encountered a group of red dots.

There was no fighting between the two sides; instead, the squad chose to retreat and sent two people back to report.

"Lady Ye Qian, we have discovered traces of humans in the forest."

As soon as the soldier leading the team returned, he rushed to Ye Qian and explained the situation.
